Jim, Thanks. What I don't really get is what persistent means.
A problem I'm having with my mysql server is that it is a whole bunch of messages with in the space of 5 minutes like: 020130 16:11:08 C:\PROGRA~1\EASYPHP\MySql\bin\mysqld.exe: Forcing close of thread 3 user: 'root' All I have to do is reload the same page a dozen times. To test out the whole thing I'm replacing all my mysql_pconnect for mysql_connect and adding mysql_close to force a closure of the connection. Scripts just didn't seem to be closing. Hence the question. It's supposed to be persistent only until the script finishes, but I can prove otherwise. A windows thing? Who knows?
